Specifying Report Output Location

You can configure the location of reports with the report.location property. For example:

report.location=[path/to/location]

Alternatively, you can specify the output directory for reports with the -report switch. For example:

cpptestcli -report /home/reports/html

report.format=pdf

cpptest.report.csv.enabled=true

Run code analysis and specify the configuration file with the -settings switch:
